AI-Powered Shopping: <\/strong>Amazon has unveiled Nova Act<\/a>, a general-purpose AI agent that can control a web browser and perform simple tasks.

A Concerning Development: <\/strong>ChatGPT’s new image generator can be used to create fake receipts<\/a>, potentially adding to the toolkit of AI-powered fraudsters. These generated receipts can even include realistic details like food and coffee stains.<\/p>\n

A Change in Strategy: <\/strong>Zelle, a person-to-person payment facilitator, has announced that it’s shutting down its standalone app<\/a>. However, this move is unlikely to affect the majority of its 150 million users, as only 2% of transactions were made through the app.<\/p>\n

A Significant Funding Round: <\/strong>Plaid, a company that connects bank accounts to financial applications, has raised $575 million in funding at a $6.1 billion post-money valuation<\/a>. This valuation is significantly lower than the $13.4 billion it achieved in April 2021.<\/p>\n
